Lynxrace Mafra is an obstacle race held within the Tapada Militar de Mafra, starting and finishing at Campo dos Plátanos, adjacent to the National Palace. The event features 5 km, 10 km, and Kids races, and is part of the larger Lynx Circuit. Participants can opt for the Open category for a timed yet more relaxed race, or the Competitive category for strict rules, penalties, and a more intense racing format.
The course is contained within the Mafra grounds and requires more than just running; obstacles challenge strength, agility, balance, and mental fortitude. The 10 km race is available to both Competitive and Open participants, while the 5 km Open option focuses on enjoyment and accessibility. In certain editions, 5 km participants have the option to switch to the shorter Kids-style distance. The event attracts seasoned obstacle racers, individuals new to OCR, and children participating in the Kids race.
